Hardwood Casket Materials and Finishes
Finding something that calls attention to your loved one’s memory and unique impact on the world is straightforward with a wooden Solace Casket.
Finding something that reflects your loved one’s memory and style is straightforward with a wood Solace Casket. Our Hardwood collection includes a range of wood caskets, including options like pine, oak, mahogany, and cherry, depending on availability.
One of the benefits of opting for a hardwood casket is that they come in a wider variety of finishes and colors than metal caskets. Pricing depends on the type of wood used to make the casket. Hardwood caskets offer more durability than softwood options. Selections depend on the availability and quality of hardwood at the time of purchase.
Our wooden caskets are finalized with beautiful finishes (special protective coatings) that give them a glossy, polished look. Your loved one can be celebrated and remembered with sophistication and elegance.
Hardwood vs. Steel
Choosing between hardwood and steel caskets is a matter of personal preference and budget.
Pricing varies based on materials and construction. If budget is a priority, you can also view caskets on sale. Some hardwood options are comparable to steel, while premium woods can be higher. Families of older deceased loved ones may choose hardwood over steel to pay homage to family tradition or create a warmer atmosphere during viewings.
Steel caskets are more modern-looking and higher in cost. Wood caskets are considered a budget option, particularly for softwood selections like pine caskets.
Burial container requirements vary by cemetery and location. Your funeral director can confirm what’s required, and we can ship the casket directly to the funeral home you choose. Consider your family’s budget and the appearance you’re after when choosing between casket types.
